Sponsor's own description

Family planning and the use of contraceptive methods are of the main strategies to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, because they can prevent unplanned pregnancies, teenage pregnancies and abortions in dangerous conditions. It is also a tool that contributes to development as it improves children's health, improves access to early childhood education, empowers women and contributes to reducing poverty as it improves economic conditions.

Currently the use of modern contraceptive methods has increased worldwide, in Latin America and the Caribbean the use of modern contraceptive methods has remained at 66.07% from 2008 to 2015. However, the number of women who do not want to get pregnant and that do not use a contraceptive method is still high - 214 million women of childbearing age in developed countries.

In our country according to the ENDES 2016 survey, the number of women who used a contraceptive method decreased by 0.7 percent compared to 2012, of which 54.3 percent used some modern contraceptive method and 21.9 percent some method traditional.

The unmet demand for family planning in 2016 was 6.0%, affecting mainly women from the lowest poverty quintile (7.4%) and those living in rural areas (6.8%).

Of the women who were surveyed and did not use a contraceptive method, 80.6% did not talk about family planning either at home or in a health facility in the last 12 months. Only 16.3% of non-users were women who attended a health facility and received information on family planning.

Through this study the investigators propose the design and evaluation of an interactive platform to promote modern contraceptive methods.
